The octagonal base features four full-figured Classical maidens—Lasaone, Laloire, Veronica, and Meranie—standing in elegant contrapposto. Each figure is finely cast with graceful drapery and serene expressions, evoking the timeless beauty of ancient allegorical sculpture.

Rising above, the central column supports a gadrooned tazza-form basin embellished with sculptural cabochons, fruit scrolls, and lion mask shoulders. The upper tier is crowned with a vase-form finial surmounted by four satyr mask fountain spouts. Both the lion and satyr mouths are hollowed for water flow, creating a multi-tiered cascade when in use.

This grand-scale fountain brings together refined craftsmanship, mythological symbolism, and architectural presence—making it an ideal focal point for a formal garden, courtyard, or estate setting. Signed S. Keliam on the stepped base.
